and interesting packs of cards

Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature. Prosperous Art had published in 2013 a pack of 54 cards about her. The card suits correspond to these most famous novels: hearts for “Pride & Prejudice”, diamonds for “Sense & Sensibility”, clubs for “Emma” and spades for “Persuasion”. Pip cards feature quotes from those books. Court cards, aces and jokers feature characters illustrated by Hugh Thomson (1860-1920) and Chris Hammond (1860-1900).
